Annie Park Bio
Annie Park (born April 9, 1995) is an American professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour. Standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, Park has competed at the highest levels of women’s golf since turning professional in 2015, building a résumé that includes an NCAA individual championship, three Symetra Tour victories, and a breakthrough LPGA win. She has continued to compete across the LPGA Tour while remaining connected to her hometown of Levittown, New York.
Early Life and Background
Annie Park was born in Levittown, New York, and grew up in the same community where she still resides. She began playing golf at the age of 7, and her early dedication to the sport quickly set her apart from other young athletes in the area. During her youth, she trained with instructor Sean Foley, a coach known for working with several leading tour professionals.
Park’s amateur talent surfaced early. At age 17, she won the 2012 Nassau County High School Championship, finishing as one of only two women in the 135-player field and breaking the event’s scoring record. That same year, she earned a spot in the U.S. Women’s Open, signaling her arrival on a national stage before she had finished high school.
Path to Golf
Park enrolled at the University of Southern California in 2013, joining one of the most decorated college golf programs in the country. During her first collegiate season, she won the Pac-12 championship and added three other tournament titles. At the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships, she captured the individual title by six strokes and helped USC win the team national championship, establishing herself as the top amateur in the United States.
Her standout 2013 season earned her the Honda Sports Award, given to the best female college golfer in the country. The following year, Park represented the United States at the 2014 Curtis Cup, playing on the winning American team. After her junior year at USC, she decided to leave college golf and turn professional in 2015, joining the Symetra Tour as her developmental pathway to the LPGA.
Annie Park Career
Early Career (2015)
Park’s first professional season was remarkable in its efficiency. Playing on the Symetra Tour in 2015, she won three times in only 11 events, including the Toyota Danielle Downey Classic, the PHC Classic, and the Prairie Band Casino & Resort Charity Classic. Her three-win season made her only the 10th Symetra Tour player to reach that mark in a single year.
By the end of 2015, Park was the leading money winner on the Symetra Tour, sweeping both Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors. The performance earned her full playing privileges on the LPGA Tour for the 2016 season. She also completed her degree, graduating from USC with a communications degree.
LPGA Tour Breakthrough (2016-2018)
Park played in 25 events during the 2016 LPGA Tour season, recording a pair of top-10 finishes, with her best result being a tie for sixth at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Toward the end of the year, she began to deal with a back injury that affected her performance. In 2017, her results declined as she battled the injury, missing the cut in 10 of 17 tournaments and finishing outside the top 120 in season earnings, which cost her full LPGA Tour status for 2018.
Her comeback began at the LPGA Mediheal Championship in April 2018, where she Monday-qualified into the field and tied for 18th. Park’s defining moment came weeks later at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Entering the event ranked 236th in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, she fired rounds of 69, 65, and 63 to finish at 16-under-par and win by one stroke over Sakura Yokomine. It was her first LPGA victory, and her winner’s check of $262,500 exceeded her prior career earnings. Later in 2018, she added a tie for second at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, finishing one stroke behind Danielle Kang.
Continued LPGA Career (2019-2023)
Park qualified for the 2019 U.S. Solheim Cup team based on her world ranking, going 1-2-0 as the European team defeated the Americans. She made the cut in 19 of 25 events that season, with three top-10 finishes including a tie for third at the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open, and ended the year ranked 50th on the LPGA money list with over $400,000 in earnings.
During the 2020 LPGA Tour season, shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, Park finished 79th on the money list with over $118,000 in earnings and one top-10 result, a sixth-place finish at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. In 2021, she made 12 cuts in 18 events but had no top-10 finishes, ending 103rd in season earnings. She played 24 tournaments in 2022, posting two top-10 finishes including a tie for fifth at the Palos Verdes Championship and placing inside the top 100 on the money list with over $200,000 in earnings. In 2023, she played 21 events and fell outside the top 100 in earnings.

Park’s career-defining moment came at the 2018 ShopRite LPGA Classic, where she claimed her lone LPGA title and earned a winner’s check larger than her previous career earnings combined.

Annie Park Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage
Publicly available details about Annie Park’s parents and broader family background are limited, and her immediate family has largely remained outside the spotlight of her professional golf career.
Personal Life
Park was born and raised in Levittown, New York, and continues to make her residence there. She graduated from the University of Southern California with a communications degree. Beyond her well-documented golf career, further personal life details are not publicly confirmed.
2025 Season Performance
Annie Park is expected to compete on the LPGA Tour during the 2025 season, continuing her pursuit of consistent play and another breakthrough victory. Her career-best form came in 2018 and 2019, when she earned her only LPGA win and represented the United States at the Solheim Cup, establishing a benchmark she will look to recapture.
Park’s 2022 top-100 money list finish suggested she retained the ability to compete on full status, while her 2023 results placed her outside that group. Her 2025 outlook will depend on regaining strong form in qualifying and Monday-qualifier opportunities, the same path that set up her 2018 ShopRite LPGA Classic triumph.
With her scoring upside evident from her career-low rounds and her experience on big stages, Park remains a player capable of contending whenever she posts four steady rounds. Her 2025 campaign will be measured by her ability to convert made cuts into top finishes and re-establish herself as a regular presence on weekend leaderboards.
